The post featured a picture of Yeoreum, which allegedly resembled Karina, leading fans to speculate about potential imitation.
Some fans came to Yeoreum’s defense, expressing disagreement with the accusations.
“Karina’s fans are way too obsessed, wearing glasses and having long hair means that she’s copying her?”
“They both have the snake type of faces, that’s why they end up looking similar… Yeorum is older so Karina is actually the one who is born after her”
“So people are bullsh*tting about clothes now?”
“So everything revolves around Karina? ㅋㅋ People need to tone it down”
“Fact: It hasn’t been that many months that Karina went around looking like that ㅋㅋㅋ”
“Supporters of Yeoreum emphasized that physical similarities between idols do not imply intentional imitation.”
Amidst the debate, there were fans who dismissed the allegations, highlighting that fashion choices should not be a basis for accusation.

Fans have taken to Twitter to voice their support for Yeoreum and express their frustration with the claims.
Many fans argue that the accusations are baseless and fail to consider important factors such as Yeoreum’s seniority in the industry.
Yeoreum has been in the industry for years even before karina joined aespa… saying she’s copying karina just because karina looks like her is insanity https://t.co/HhjbS0HcWC

This sentiment reflects the frustration among fans who believe that physical resemblances alone should not be grounds for accusing an artist of imitation.

Another fan highlighted the fact that Yeoreum debuted before Karina. The fan’s comment emphasizes the importance of considering an idol’s career timeline before making accusations.
Fans also expressed concern that the allegations could harm Yeoreum’s reputation rather than promote her.
I would argue that this is not promoting Yeoreum at all…it's actually quite the opposite considering they're fabricating a bad light on Yeoreum by claiming she's copying Karina when she's done completely nothing of the sort. People need to leave both of them alone.
